I don't believe any guns or ammo have been put out on the market, as of yet.

I've heard that T/C will have it in the Encore, and I'm sure others will offer it too. It will be interesting to see what it will do in real life, the magazine article I read made it sound too good to be true.  And things that sound too good to be true, usually are.  ::)

Take care,
Bob S.

I orderd a 338 Federal barrel for my Encore back in July from Foxridge. They could not come up with it after 12weeks told me they might be able to make in 6 more weeks. I grew tired of waiting so I bought a Tikka stainless lite, I am glad I didn't wait for the custom barrel.
